The British Biology Olympiad (BBO) is a national competition for secondary school students in the UK, designed to foster a deeper interest in biology and develop students' scientific thinking and problem-solving skills. The competition is primarily based on a written exam, through which the top performers are selected to represent the UK in the International Biology Olympiad (IBO). BBO provides an important platform for students to showcase their talent and expand their academic horizons.

As the importance of biology continues to grow in the global scientific community, BBO is expected to have an increasingly prominent role. The competition not only offers students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of biology, but also lays the foundation for their future academic or professional careers. Many past participants have gone on to study at world-leading universities or pursue careers in biological sciences. With its expanding reach and influence, BBO is poised to offer even more opportunities for young people passionate about biology to demonstrate their skills and pursue their potential.
